Exceptional service! The minute we walked in the host was welcoming and fun, he was also very kind to Frankie our Boston Terrier. You always get extra stars for being nice to my furson. We were seated on the lovely patio and Nas our server was incredibly helpful and nice. From the ambiance to the food everything was perfect. The portions are large and everything was flavorful. Great place to brunch with your pup! We'll be back.
The service was fantastic from the valet to the hostess to the waiter (Terrance) to the wonderful employees at the bar who chatted with us as we left. The wine suggestion was excellent and the food was delicious. Don't skip dessert --- yummmmm! The sampler is perfect (three treats in one)!!!
I have been waiting to try Murphy’s for a while now. Finally tried Murphy’s for brunch. Was very fresh and delicious. Very busy and popular. Looking forward to going back for dinner service.
A very classic South Atlanta icon that has been around many years serving good southern comfort food and American favorites. Stop in next door to them and you can shop at their wine bar. A perfect Virginia Highlands location, with lots of shopping and eateries nearer to Emory.
You can find Murphy's at 997 Virginia Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 in the heart of Virginia Highland (literally at the corner of Virginia Ave and North Highland Ave NE). Parking is rather limited to side-streets so you may as well valet with the guys across the street - they'll take good care of your car.
Murphy's has proven itself and earned a reputation for being a consistent fine dining experience. They are hitting on all cylinders in every area... Location, unique space, excellent staff, price and wonderful food. On our most recent lunch visit we absolutely loved the Calamari appetizer, Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Kale, Trout and Brussel Sprouts. Not only were we overwhelmed by the quality but the portions were extremely generous. We look forward to our next time there when we visit family in the Virginia Highlands.
Murphy's is my absolute favorite restaurant to visit in ATL! When I go I gotta have my avocado burger! You can't go wrong with any of the desserts!! The atmosphere is great inside & out!
Cool spot in a hipster part of town, delicious mango chicken salad and huge wine selection. Very good bartender and an excellent vodka martini.
The perfect place to meet and eat.. A beautiful restaurant with open air outdoor dining (enclosed and heated when it's cold outside), a beautiful bar, a bakery and a comfortable, well appointed dining room.
We have eaten at Murphy's many times for lunch and dinner, on weekdays and weekends. We have taken guests there and everyone (even our pickiest friends) have enjoyed their food. My personal favorite is the Crab Cake Sandwich.
Murphy's has a great menu that includes a lot of seasonal, local food and beer. We recently fell in love with a fall side dish that includes butternut squash, green beans, lima beans and carrots. It was perfectly seasoned and very fresh. (See photo) Delicious!
Nice brunch spot. Good, quick service and great food with varied choices.9/10
Good brunch! We had Eggs T. Murphy, Corned Beef Hash, and the special:
Fried Pork Chop with bacon onion jam and Home Fries. All great. Corned beef hash was savory and hearty; the favorite on the table. Great strong coffee. Now we want to go back for the bakery goods and amazing looking desserts.
Time Crunch. Had dinner here on Friday, 2/7. Unfortunately we had a tight time budget due to theatre tickets but I have to say the staff were outstanding. They got us in and out by the time we needed. The food generally was very good, they got my order wrong I wanted the salmon and grits but got the salmon with the sticky rice cake instead. Because we were tight for time I didn't mention it, the salmon was delicious but the rice, was meh, wish I'd had the grits. The desserts were a bit ho hum. We'll try it again when we have more time.
Unfortunately we just missed brunch, but thankfully lunch was great. Our first visit, recommended by two friends locally, we were not disappointed.
Great menu options, ambience, and service. Very spacious and inviting atmosphere. Options of outdoor, partially outdoor, and indoor seating.
I did not remember to take a picture of my friends “Steamed Mussels”, and my partners “Seared Yellow Tuna Salad”. But they looked appetizing and according to them was fairly good. I was able to take a picture of the appetizer and my platters reflected in the images. They tasted better than they looked.
Used to be our favorite brunch place but due to Covid didn’t go for years, and when we did it was still “simply the best”. Nothing changed and in this instance for the better.
Same amazing service and great hospitality. Cool servers who let you take your time, and the best part, they allow brunch reservations now.
The chicken burger was delicious and of course the eggs Santa Fe was scrumptious.
Bright ambiance and open space makes it the perfect weekend starter.
Absolutely fantastic brunch experience at Murphy's! The crab cake Benedict is a must-try – exquisite flavors that left my taste buds delighted. The overall ambiance and service were top-notch. A definite 5-star gem!
We came here for brunch and it was good. We had the Braised Brisket Hash, Eggs Slum Mulligan, and the Eggs Santa Fe (not pictured). The potatoes had good flavor. I really like the sausage in my Slum Mulligan. It had a melted cheese over all of it along with bacon and 2 poached eggs. It was tasty. They also brought out some complimentary biscuits and banana nut bread which were good. I’d say overall it was a good meal.
Brunch was delicious! Took a long time after we were seated for a waiter/waitress to come take our order or at least acknowledge us. Grits were delicious my 2nd fav in Atlanta. The crab cake Benedict was so good! The eggs Virgina highland were so good! A little pricey but we had a gift card.
Murphy's never disappoints! From the staff's eagerness to accommodate to the ability to seat large parties in a small space yet feel comfortable. The food is outstanding with so much variety.
We visited on a Saturday around 10:00 a.m. There were plenty of open tables at the time. We were seated immediately. The "outside" seating on the patio is fully enclosed and heated presently (early October). Our server, Keish (? I swear she said her name is "quiche," but maybe I was just thinking about food), was exceptionally friendly, informative and helpful. The food was good. I wasn't as impressed with the Crab Cakes Benedict as I thought I might be, but it was tasty. We also had the breakfast croissant sandwich special, and it was enjoyable as well.
An amazing spot to go to for a nice Sunday brunch. Food was flavorful and the service was outstanding. The biscuits and muffins you get as appetizers are amazing and will come back to try more menu items!
First time going. We took my mom for her birthday, and we really enjoyed ourselves.
The service was great and the food and mimosas didn’t disappoint.
I highly recommend and will definitely be back.
My department for work had our Christmas dinner here (12 of us). There was valet parking only unless you can find street parking as an alternative. The service was great and efficient especially considering our large party size. The temperature in the room we were in was so warm and uncomfortable which took away from the experience. We ordered charcuterie, burrata, and calamari which were a decent size and shareable. For our entrees, we ordered the halibut, brisket, steak frites, and kale salad. Everyone enjoyed their meals however nothing was truly exceptional. The desserts were probably our favorite. There were multiple fees on our bill, one for a large party which is standard and another for using a credit card payment. It's 2023... this seems outdated. Overall an average experience.
